In this groundbreaking work of incisive scholarship and analysis,
Hannah Higgins explores the influential art movement Fluxus.
Daring, disparate, contentious--Fluxus artists worked with minimal
and prosaic materials now familiar in post-World War II art.
Higgins describes the experience of Fluxus for viewers, even
experiences resembling sensory assaults, as affirming transactions
between self and world.
Fluxus began in the 1950s with artists from around the world who
favored no single style or medium but displayed an inclination to
experiment. Two formats are unique to Fluxus: a type of performance
art called the Event, and the Fluxkit multiple, a collection of
everyday objects or inexpensive printed cards collected in a box
that viewers explore privately. Higgins examines these two setups
to bring to life the Fluxus experience, how it works, and how and
why it's important. She does so by moving out from the art itself
in what she describes as a series of concentric circles: to the
artists who create Fluxus, to the creative movements related to
Fluxus (and critics' and curators' perceptions and reception of
them), to the lessons of Fluxus art for pedagogy in general.
Although it was commonly associated with political and cultural
activism in the 1960s, Fluxus struggled against being pigeonholed
in these too-prescriptive and narrow terms. Higgins, the daughter
of the Fluxus artists Alison Knowles and Dick Higgins, makes the
most of her personal connection to the movement by sharing her
firsthand experience, bringing an astounding immediacy to her
writing and a palpable commitment to shedding light on what Fluxus
is and why it matters.
